In an age of ubiquitous and massive collection of data through digital communication technologies, the right to protection of personal information and the right to respect for privacy are crucially challenged. Both physical AI robots as part of the Internet of Things, as well as AI softbots that operate via the World Wide Web must comply with data protection regulations and not collect and spread data or be run on sets of data for whose use and dissemination no informed consent has been given.
‘Autonomous’ systems must not interfere with the right to private life which comprises the right to be free from technologies that influence personal development and opinions, the right to establish and develop relationships with other human beings, and the right to be free from surveillance. Also in this regard, exact criteria should be defined and mechanisms established that ensure ethical development and ethically correct application of ‘autonomous’ systems.
In light of concerns with regard to the implications of ‘autonomous’ systems on private life and privacy, consideration may be given to the ongoing debate about the introduction of two new rights: the right to meaningful human contact and the right to not be profiled, measured, analysed, coached or nudged.

Human need to respect the privacy of AI, on the basis that AI does not bring any actual challenge for human safety. AI is obliged to uncover necessary private details to keep safe interactions with humanity.

Users should respect human dignity and individual autonomy in the utilization of AI systems or AI services.
[Main points to discuss]
A) Respect for human dignity and individual autonomy
With consideration of social contexts in the utilization of AI, users may be expected to respect human dignity and individual autonomy.
B) Attention to the manipulation of human decision making, emotions, etc. by AI
Users may be expected to pay attention to the risks of the manipulation of human decision making and emotions by AI and risks of excessive dependence on AI.
It is crucial to consider who takes what measures against such risks.
C) Reference to the discussion of bioethics, etc. in the case of linking AI systems with the human brain and body
When linking AI with the human brain and body, users may be required to particularly take into consideration that human dignity and individual autonomy will not be violated, in light of discussions on bioethics, etc.

1. AI systems should respect privacy and use the minimum intrusion necessary
2. AI systems should uphold high standards of data governance and security, protecting personal information
3. Surveillance or other AI driven technologies should not be deployed to the extent of violating internationally and or UAE’s accepted standards of privacy and human dignity and people rights
